Media Attacks AU w/ Petrino - More or Less?

Its amazing to read the slanted articles and well timed attacks on AU the last 3 years. It's really unprecedented. I think most of it is because AU is open about making Faith / Religion a big part of the Program. With a Petrino hire and probably much less of the open faith comments - does the media let up or do they go full throttle on Petrino's past?

Any SEC team that hires BP this soon will get torn up by the media. Cann't see that being an AU thing specifically. But this is the first I've heard bout the religious angle there. Did it go overboard in any way?
